Thank

That
concludes
the
proclamation
portion
of
the
council
meeting
and
will
take
us
directly
into
public
comment.
Anyone
wishing
to
speak
before
City
Council
this
morning,
of
course,
will
have
three
minutes
in
which
to
do
so.
I
would
like
to
take
this
time
to
remind
everyone
here,
though,
that
the
rules
of
council
are
clear
when
they
state
that
comment
is
limited
to
matters
of
concern.
Official
action
or
deliberation
which
are

this
time
or
could
at
another
time
come
before
this
council.
B
We
will
not
permit
profanity
and
we
will
maintain
order
at
all
times.
We
ask
that
you
please
begin
by
giving
your
name
and
the
neighborhood
in
which
you
reside
for
our
public
record.
The
green
light
will
indicate
the
start
of
your
three
minutes.
When
the
yellow
light
comes
on.
You
will
have
one
minute
to
summarize
your
thoughts
when
the
red
light
comes
on.
Your
time
will
expire
good
morning.
Mr.
Ludwig
welcome
good.
E
E
If
you're
the
carpenter?
Are
you
hitting
that
nail
straight
in,
so
that
there
won't
be
a
failure
of
the
building
that
you're
building
I've?
Seen
so
much
of
this
disgusting
squads
Charlottesville
a
blonde
that
stood
there
and
asked
the
mr.
Fienberg
a
Jewish
name,
I,
don't
know
whether
he
was
one
or
not,
but
he
was
a
reporter
and
he
had
to
think
twice.
I'm
sure
that
the
president
or
his
lady.
E
E
F
I'm
not
jumping
hitting
anybody,
no
one's
that
up,
my
name
is
Yvonne.
F,
Brown
and
I
live
in
the
Hill
District
I
want
to
say
first
to
the
hall
family.
We
feel
your
loss.
We
might
not
be
able
to
feel
your
pain
and
I
live
in
Kaylee
were
ervice
tires,
our
janitor
Jonathan
Cooper's
young
son,
committed
suicide,
Jonathan,
Cooper's,
family
and
friends
of
the
family
John,
the
father,
who
works
at
KT
worthless.
We
love
you
and
we
can
only
feel
your
loss.
F
When
I
heard
that
I
said
oh
and
as
I
was
telling
other
people
about
the
two
babies,
they
were
afraid
you
could
see
their
hearts,
but
when
I
hear
a
vice
president
president
talk
about
the
babies
that
they
left
and
they
wouldn't
change
them.
They
took
a
baby
from
the
mother
for
months.
Oh
and
if
she
breastfed
see,
we
don't
live
in
the
United
States
we
don't
breastfeed,
but
but
they
do
and
that's
how
the
baby
lives
from
that
mother.
F
There's
some
that
if
you
breastfeed,
they
won't
take
anything
else,
so
there's
a
possibility
that
baby
might
have
died.
Do
you
understand
what
I
hear,
especially
these
are
white
men
talking
about
these
little
colored
children,
they're
of
color?
That's
why
they're
treated
so
bad!
You
got
the
president
brought
them
all
his
old
family.
Oh
remember
they
got
to
come
in
here.
They
got
to
bring
something
here
to
United
States.
They
should
be
able
to
work
higher
than
white
people.
Get
there
they're
old.
We
don't
need
them
I'm
serious.
F
F
G
G
Bloomfield
Garfield,
Morningside
Lawrenceville
for
a
number
of
reasons.
In
fact,
the
finance
director
for
Children's
Hospital,
there's
right
on
the
corner
of
everline
and
Dearborn
behind
them,
is
Mandela
Park.
The
city
of
Pittsburgh
promised
that
the
kids
would
have
water
a
sprinkler
like
they
have
in
Highland
Park.
They
haven't
shady
side,
they
haven't
green
filled.
They
have
two
of
them
in
Carrick,
there's
no
water
I
broke
the
water
fountains.
Yesterday
I
broke
them
open.
There
was
no
drinking
water
from
three
fountains
in
the
past
month.
G
I
put
four
garbage
cans
there,
because
there's
three
access
and
egress
there's
three
spots
to
go
in
and
out.
The
city
took
my
garbage
cans.
Instead
of
putting
three
a
total
of
three,
they
put
one
more
and
they
chained
it.
But
there's
three
points:
there's
wires
hanging
done
live
wires
in
the
alley.
The
city's
been
notified
a
number
of
times
next
door
at
5200
to
Dearborn
Street
as
a
grandmother
who
has
a
seven-year-old
quadriplegic
grandson.
G
He
looks
like
he's.
12
years
old,
he
came
home
twice
with
black
eyes
from
his
mother
to
us
now.
This
lady
is
just
a
beautiful
person.
This
kid
is
about
the
size
of
the
16
year
old.
He
cannot
digest
food,
he
cannot
move
his
arms
or
his
legs
he's
helpless
if
it
wasn't
for
his
grandmother,
I,
don't
know
what
would've
happened
to
him.
E
B
H
B
H
My
name
is
David
Adams
I'm
from
the
East
Hills
section
of
Pittsburgh.
For
three
years
we've
been
coming
here
trying
to
share
with
this
body
critical
information,
research
and
obviously
you
all
aren't
interested
in
a
messenger.
It
can't
be
the
message,
because
the
message
is
what
you
need
and
when
someone
stands
in
front
of
you
able
to
give
you
something
that
you
don't
have
the
ability
to
do
for
your
constituents
yourself
and
you
ignore
it
as
a
social,
urban
and
cultural
researcher.
We
have
to
examine
why.
H
So
we
know
it's
not
to
work
because
none
of
you
looked
at
so
it
has
to
be
what
we
identify
as
conscientious,
intentional
ignorance.
This
is
when
a
body
of
people
act
as
if
they
don't
know
what
you're
talking
about
and
they
look
at
you.
The
way
you're
looking
at
me
this
morning
is,
if
you
don't
know
what
emergency
planning
and
disaster
preparedness
is
all
about.
There's
also
been
a
problem
about
me,
so
today,
I'm
going
to
do
something.
H
I
never
ever
did
as
a
corporate
president
and
that's
going
to
give
you
to
our
corporation's
capability
report,
I'm
asking
the
clerk
to
make
copies
for
all
nine
members
of
the
council,
so
that
all
of
you
now
will
know
what
we
do
and
how
well
we
do
it.
We
have
the
same
in
a
Marine
Corps
when
you're
the
best
at
what
you
do
it's
hard
to
be
calm.
H
We
have
done
something
phenomenal
when
I
hear
words
about
contributions,
we're
talking
contributions
of
creating
the
nation's
first
city
level,
citizen
Corps,
it's
in
Pittsburgh
and
the
veteran
said.
They're
tired
of
this
body,
I've
been
trying
to
tell
you
for
three
years.
We
just
want
to
sit
down
and
introduce
to
you
this
concept
when
it
was
being
designed.
Three
weeks
ago,
I
submitted
a
city,
vulnerability
report,
citizen
vulnerability
report,
highlighting
the
need
for
this
citizen
Corps.
It
doesn't
make
sense
to
design
anything
if
there's
not
a
need
for
it.
The
need
was
exclusive.
H
Is
a
recruiting
card
that
we'll
be
doing
next
month
for
veterans
throughout
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
won't
be
spreading
it
through
the
county?
There
will
be
one
of
these
councils
in
every
city
across
our
southwestern
Pennsylvania
region,
so
I
would
suggest,
and
since
you
are
the
first
and
remember
this,
we
don't
run
programs
so
you're,
not
stopping
me
you're,
stopping
your
constituents
I'm
a
researcher,
we
design
systems,
we
don't
run
programs.
So
all
this
time
you've
been
focused
on
stopping
me.
H
You've
been
actually
hurting
your
constituents,
so
I'm
gonna
submit
these
cards
and
I
want
to
ask
mr.
Cobb
go
in
my
last
30
seconds.
We
ask
you
something:
the
citizens
chose
you
out
of
all
night,
Council
members,
that
they
trust
you
the
most
to
be
the
liaison.
The
only
responsibility
is
that
you
come
back
and
share
with
your
colleagues
what
the
citizens
of
doing
in
this
council
I'm
asking
you
now
about
not
of
your
head,
because
I
have
a
t-shirt
for
you
and
the
mayor.
Will
you
accept
that
position
thanks.
H
B
J
Despite
of
cry
in
media,
for
shortage
of
funding
that
the
company
is
spending
1
million
dollars
on
highly
advertised
and
pretty
aggressive
campaign
that
is
launched
and
endorsed
enthusiastically
support
by
City
Mayor
Bill
Peduto,
who
is
also
ex
officio
member
on
the
board
of
the
private
company,
which
raises
flag
red
flag
for
potential
conflict
of
interest
campaign
goal
is
to
collect
12,500
signatures
from
city
residents
in
registered
voters.
Only
the
ballot
initiative
proposed
to
amend
city
house
rule
charter
to
create
dedicated
park
trust
fund.
J
This
I
witness
is
that
companies
paid
circulators
and
observers,
probably
also
out
of
state
professionals,
are
not
informing
petitioners
about
this
consent.
Decree
increase
in
tax,
also
people
who,
who
are
asked
to
sign
petitions,
not
ask
if
they
are
residents
or
the
registered
voters
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
This
intentional
deception
led
to
hyper-inflated
number
of
12
and
signature
from
potentially
non
city
residents,
not
not
in
city
registered
waters
and
uninformed
deceived
or
misled
petitioners.
J
In
just
four
weeks
of
campaign
company
director
communication
journal
paper
Argos
the
Argos
that
is
okay
to
go
on
with
this
fake
data,
since
in
November
the
real
city
residents
and
the
registered
voters
will
what
my
concern
is
whether
is
just
and
ethical,
to
knowingly
put
on
ballot
fraudulent
campaign
data
results,
especially
since
election
office
will
not
verified
signatures
by
cross
matching
against
city
as
a
city
registry.
Thank.
K
Morning,
my
name
is
Dave:
bring
in
executive
director
of
Lawrenceville
United.
Keep
real
brief,
just
want
to
thank
Council
for
all
your
votes
last
week
and
for
hearing
so
many
Lawrenceville
residents
and
our
partners
talked
about
some
of
the
housing
challenges
that
we're
facing
in
Lawrenceville.
Looking
forward
to
the
vote
today,
I
want
to
kind
of
celebrate
this
moment.
This
is
a
big
deal
and
I
think
we
council
should
be
really
proud
of
getting
it.
K
This
far
took
a
lot
of
work,
and
you
know,
assuming
this
vote
goes
through
today,
for
inclusionary
zoning
Pittsburgh
will
join
900.
Other
municipalities
in
the
country
who
are
using
this
tool
to
create
affordable
housing,
so
I
think
we
should
be
really
proud
of
that.
This
would
be
make
us
a
big
trendsetter
in
in
Pennsylvania
for
Pittsburgh,
so
I
know
you
know.
Cities
like
Philadelphia
and
Allentown
are
watching
this
closely
too.
So
I
think
we
should
be
really
proud
of
this
as
a
moment
for
Pittsburgh.
K
It's
not
it's
a
it's
an
important
first
step
and
it's
not
certainly
the
the
solution
for
all
of
our
challenges,
but
we
should
be
proud
of
this
moment.
So
thank
you
and
just
wanted
to
also
say
and
I
know.
Laura
is
going
to
come
up
it
today,
too.
I
think
so.
I
just
want
to
remind
council
that
it's
an
important
step,
alongside
of
the
inclusionary
zoning,
to
make
sure
that
it
functions
and
works
well
and
does
indeed
end
up
creating
affordable
housing
in
our
neighborhood.
So
thank
you.
Thank
you.
David.
L
Good
morning,
I'm
Celeste
Scott
I
am
the
housing
justice
organizer
for
Pittsburgh
United
and
also
like
Dave
I
will
try
to
be
brief
as
well.
I
mean
I,
guess
I
would
be
remiss
to
just
stand
up
here
with
all
this
pain
and
trauma
that
has
been
going
on
in
our
city
and
not
you
know
say
that
that
has
you
know
greatly
impacted
everyone
greatly
impacted
me
doing
this
work
and
just
greatly
impacted
the
city
I.
Just
as
David
said,
this
is
a
big
deal.
We
are
walking.
L
You
know
the
path
to
in
the
right
direction
for
this
housing
crisis
that
is
happening
folks
have
been
working
on
it.
Zoning
mandatory
inclusionary
zoning
for
decades,
so
this
is
a
victory
for
that
and
I
know
that
they
are
happy
to
have
the
narrative
shifting
for
housing
to
be
more
people
center
and
more
human
center.
L
So
I
just
encourage
you
to
vote
today
for
the
exclusionary
zoning
I
applaud
as
we
walk
the
path
forward
to
talk
about
learner,
to
really
think
about
people
and
the
people
that
are
impacted
in
the
city
who
I
received
calls
from
daily
and
who
I
walk
the
streets
with
trying
to
help
system
the
suffering
and
that
we
really
think
about
making
Pittsburgh
a
Pittsburgh
for
all
a
liveable
Pittsburgh
for
all,
and
also
that
everyone
here
is
able
to
have
a
high
quality
of
life
and
some
joy
in
their
life.
So
I
just
take.
L
B
D
Good
morning
my
name
is
angelique.
Bamberg
I
live
at
233,
amber
Street
and
I
wish
to
speak
on
a
matter
that
you're
going
to
be
voting
on
at
1:30
at
your
next
session,
because
I'm
unable
to
be
here
then-
and
that
is
the
petition
to
orphans
court,
to
transfer
a
part
of
Enright
Park
to
LG
Realty
I'm
here
representing
the
Enright
Park
Neighborhood
Association,
and
we
have
some
concerns
that
this
legislation
is
premature
at
this
time.
D
We
feel
certain
that
we
can
all
come
to
a
consensus
on
the
content
of
this
legislation,
but
in
particular
there
are
three
items
that
stand
out
to
us
at
this
point
that
have
not
been
resolved.
First,
the
new
Eva
Street
must
be
a
dedicated
public,
right-of-way,
policed
and
maintained
by
the
city
of
Pittsburgh.
Access
to
the
reconfigured
and
Wright
Park
via
a
private
street
would
subject
park
users
to
possible
limitations
of
access,
as
well
as
people
who
live
within
that
neighborhood,
which
is
constrained
by
a
funny
street
configuration.
D
We
understand
that
LG
Realty
has
proposed
a
set
of
terms
to
the
mayor's
office
under
which
they
insist
that
Eva
Street
should
be
private,
but
we
have
reviewed
these
and
find
them
to
be
inadequate
to
provide
access
to
the
public
park
and
also
to
our
homes.
Second,
there
needs
to
be
a
clear
timetable
for
completion
and
opening
of
the
reconfigured
park
closure
of
the
current
park
for
the
construction
of
phase.
D
One
of
the
new
development
without
concurrent
construction
of
a
reconfigured
part,
fails
to
provide
as
good
or
better
recreation
facility
than
currently
exists,
which
is
part
of
the
consent
decree.
Without
an
understanding
of
the
funding
of
the
reconfigured
park
and
the
timeline
on
which
this
will
occur,
we
don't
have
the
assurance
that
that
will
move
forward
as
agreed
and
third,
the
reference
in
the
resolution
to
a
clarification
issued
by
Judge
James
on
May
29th
2019
comes
as
a
surprise
to
the
community
intervenors
to
the
PPS
consent
order.
D
D
Lastly,
we
believe
that
section
4
of
the
consent
order
requires
that,
among
other
items,
the
amendment
of
the
East
Liberty
trade
map,
which
expands
the
district
to
three-quarters
of
a
mile
at
the
same
time,
that
the
current
land
swap
legislation
is
being
considered.
We
had
seen
no
movement
on
this
to
date
and
we
would
look
forward
to
working
toward
that
occurring,
but
until
it
occurs
again,
we
cannot
support
this
legislation.
D
M
N
M
My
name
is
Jennifer
Rothman,
Kennedy,
I
reside
in
Point,
Breeze
I'm,
also
the
executive
director
of
Pittsburgh
United
and,
on
behalf
of
our
labor
faith,
community
and
environmental
groups.
I
want
to
thank
you
for
passing
paid
sick
days
four
years
ago.
Thank
you
for
the
vision
and
passing
that
legislation
and
the
vigilance
of
the
city
in
defending
that
legislation.
I'd
like
to
extend
this
our
special
gratitude
to
councilman
O'connor
and
the
co-sponsors
of
that
bill
and
all
those
who
supported
it.
M
Just
and
I
appreciate
again
your
vigilance
and
sticking
with
this
legislation
and
when
we
lift
up
those
struggling
the
most
with
economic,
racial
and
social
injustice,
we
actually
are
able
to
create
the
more
equitable
and
livable
city
that
we
want.
So
I.
Thank
you
for
doing
that,
and
we
have
another
chance
to
do
that
today
with
inclusionary
zoning.
So
I.
M
I
O
There
all
my
name
is
Eva
Resnick
day
and
I
reside
in
Regent,
Square
I'm,
also
a
community
organizer
at
the
Sierra
Club
here
in
Pittsburgh.
So
it's
where
we
get
to
celebrate
something
so
like
Jenny
I'm
here
to
say
thank
you
and
to
congratulate
the
council
for
passing
and
winning
paid
sick
days
here
in
Pittsburgh.
O
Personally,
thank
you
for
taking
this
plate
on
and
I
know.
It
means
a
lot
to
me,
but
Sierra
Club.
Also
wants
to
thank
you,
you
might
ask
why
you
know:
why
does
this
environmental
group
care
about
this
well
one
because
we
care
about
humans
and
people
which
hope
enough,
but
also
we
know
that
the
safety
of
our
environment
includes
the
environment
that
we
work
in
Eden.
So
thank
you
for
being
brave.
O
Thank
you
for
putting
the
health
and
safety
of
our
community
over
what
were
sometimes
told
are
the
limits
of
city
control,
but
because
you
were
brave,
we
all
won.
The
city
won
in
the
courtroom
this
past
week
and
so
did
the
people
of
Pittsburgh.
So
this
is
an
action
that
Pittsburgh
can
be
proud
of,
as
would
be
inclusionary
zoning
if
you
choose
to
pass
it
and
we
look
forward
to
working
together
towards
more
wins
for
our
city
in
the
future.
So
thank
you.
Thank.
P
Morning,
I'm,
just
gonna
follow
up
with
them
on
behalf
of
SEIU
32bj.
We
also
want
to
thank
everybody
on
council
for
passing
paid
sick
days.
It's
really
important
during
this
time
in
Harrisburg
I
know
you
guys
are
always
putting
up
a
fight.
It's
oftentimes
you
defending
yourselves
against
them,
but
you
took
on
the
initiative.
You
put
up
the
fight.
You
allowed
the
law
department
to
put
up
a
fight.
You
allowed
the
mayor's
office
to
put
up
a
fight,
and
you
won
that
fight.
So
I
just
wanted
to
thank
you
for
that.
Thank.
B
You
thanks
Corey
appreciate
it.
Thank
you,

B
R
N
B
R
Will
all
just
plaintiff
members
that
I
explained
last
week
in
standing
committee
that
we
had
a
bunch
of
very
technical
amendments,
there's
nothing
substantially
different
than
you
voted
on
provisionally
last
week,
mostly
capitalizations
vocabulary,
consistency
punctuation
things
like
that,
but
there
were
so
many
that
it
just
made
sense
to
do
it
in
its
entirety.
Great.
B
R
If
I
may,
I
just
want
to
say
thank
you
to
Council
for
their
support
and
also
as
I
said
last
week,
thank
you
to
the
many
Lauren
civilians
who
participated
in
this
process
and
especially
to
the
kind
of
lead
organizations.
Lawrenceville,
United
Pittsburgh
unite
at
Lawrenceville
corporation,
who
did
so
much
organizing
around
this
issue,
and
this
is
really
a
stork
moment.
R
This
is
one
of
the
major
items
that
was
suggested
by
our
affordable
housing
task
force
and
that
we
are
able
to
I
think
apply
the
right
tool
to
the
right
neighborhood
needs,
and
that
was
the
whole
point.
I.
Think
of
the
long
exercise
by
so
many
citizens
for
the
affordable
housing
task
force
is
that
we
knew
we
needed
multiple
tools,
and
so
by
doing
we
are
able
to
create
the
kind
of
equity
and
for
all
in
the
neighborhoods
of
Pittsburgh,
even
though
they
are
very
different
from
each
other.
Thanks.
C
Congratulate
Councilwoman
grouse
and
you
know
the
the
entire
area
I
I've
said
it
last
time
we
were
around
the
table
but
she's
the
right
person
for
what's
going
on
in
Lawrenceville
and
the
displacement
and
to
put
that
in
there
I
think
again,
it's
going
to
benefit
in
future
neighborhoods
who
are
gonna,
be
facing
this
same
problem.
So
it's
nice
to
know
that
people
from
Pittsburgh
could
still
live
in
Pittsburgh,
so
yeah.
B
Good
comment:
thanks
consummate,
congratulations
again:
Councilwoman!
Thank
you!
Okay!
So
with
that
you've,
then
the
bills
now
ready
for
final
action.
All
in
favor
of
the
passage
of
the
bill
will
vote
aye
when
the
names
are
called.
Those
opposed
will
vote.
No
and
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call

A
B
You
Anna
Clark
the
bill.
Having
received
the
legally
required
number
of
votes
has
finally
passed.
Thank
you
good
good
work,
it's
a
good
day.
So
with
that
we'll
move
on
to
our
Committee
on
intergovernmental
affairs
are
chairs
councilman
O'connor
and
may
have
councilman
Burgess
for
Councilman
O'connor
councilman
LaValle
for
councilman
O'connor.
President.
B
S
Just
wanted
to
talk
briefly
about
the
PwC
agreement
and
just
to
say
that
I
promised
the
people
there
isn't
some
red
oak
and
hasten
that
would
have
a
conversation
with
Mayor
Peduto
prior
to
voting
and
I
did.
And
the
mayor
is
committed
to
working
with
PWSA
to
address
the
issues
there.
But
you
know
that
we
also
know
that
there's
councilman
Coghill
just
formed
a
committee
himself
to
work
on
route
51
and
the
flooding
there.
So
that
ties
into
some
of
the
flooding
that
were
experiencing
in
our
area.
I
S
Would
somehow
not
go
through
and
would
we
would
have
any
concept
of
privatization?
It
would
be
that
our
residents
would
lose
their
voice
and
their
advocacy
in
addressing
issues
and
not
having
us
have
a
voice,
so
I
would
just
say
so
I'm
voting
in
favor
of
day,
but
reluctantly
because
I'm
not
offend
everybody
knows
I'm
nor
FINA.
Some
of
the
things
occurring
a
PwC
I.
Do
I
hear
a
lot
of
people
talking
about
the
leadership
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
going
on
there.
S
But
for
me,
I've
had
to
read
got
a
lot
of
response
working
with
Dan
Gilman,
chief
of
staff,
Gilman
Councilwoman
gross
and
director,
like
her,
probably
more
so
than
anyone
else
so
I
just
want
to
say
that
I
think
that
there
needs
to
be
some
still
some
significant
changes
that
occur
there,
I'm
not
in
pleased
with
with
the
direction
and
some
of
the
things
that
are
happening.
I
hear
people
talking
about
how
great
it's
been
and
how
they're
on
the
right
track.
I'm,
sorry
but
I,
disagree,
I!
S
Think
it's
a
lot
of
great
PR
I,
don't
see
a
lot
of
great
movement
when
I
see
people
having
less
flooding
and
seeing
us
address
some
of
the
concerns
of
our
residents.
Then
I'll
know
that
we're
going
in
the
right
directions
and
so
I'll
just
leave
it
at
that.
That's
why
I'm
voting
in
favor
today,
so
they
have
a
voice
and
because
the
mayor
agreed
to
help
Thank.
C
Council,
when
we
kill
Smith
to
take
this
the
wrong
way,
but
I'm
really
glad
she
has
flooding,
also
because
she's
such
a
strong
advocate
for
for
me
and
the
same
problems
that
I'm
having
so
so.
It's
good
to
have
her
voice
in
this
and
I
just
wanted
to
thank
her
for
that
I.
You
know,
I
do
agree.
I
will
vote
for
that
too.
I
have
no
problem
with
it.
They
only
continue
on
for
another
year
and
knowing
that
we
can
terminate
it
if
we
need
to
PWSA
kind
of
gets
a
bad
rap
I.
C
Think
in
my
neighborhood-
and
you
know,
I
got
to
tell
you.
You
know
they've
been
working
closely
with
me,
I,
like
their
efforts
that
you've
been
putting
into
trying
to
solve
these
flooding
issues.
However,
some
of
them
are
just
not
solvable,
I
believe
so
you
know,
I
will
agree
to
this
simply
on
the
lines
as
to
I
have
a
commitment
from
PWSA
to
work
with
me
in
solving
these
flooding
issues
that
are
plaguing
my
district
I
mean
it's
really
unbelievable.
C
We
talk
about
displacement
all
the
time
and
Councilwoman
grosses
and
other
districts,
but
I
have
true
displacement.
Getting
moving
out
like
tomorrow,
I
need
these
people
move
out
and
I'll
elaborate
further
on
that,
but
I
just
want
to
say:
I
have
no
problem.
Voting
for
this
I
am
gonna.
Keep
a
positive
attitude
about
PWSA
they've
seemed
to
be
working
with
me
and
trying
to
you
know,
find
solutions
to
these
problems.
They're
just
difficult
problems,
but
as
long
as
I
have
a
commitment
them
moving
forward.
N
N
Cannot
get
their
coursework
there
due
to
moving
this
Port
Authority?
Stop
not
only
that
there's
handicapped
people
that
have
to
use
that
bus
and
now
they'd
have
to
walk
or
ride
downhill
in
order
to
get
the
bus.
The
bus
stop
was
there
for
the
last
50,
60
I,
don't
know
70
years
without
no
problem
and
there's
a
new
person
that
moved
in
and
I
have
a
petition
from
that
from
the
people
that
have
businesses
there,
that
they
need
to
put
bus,
stop
backward.
Why
so,
since
they.
S
Think
it's
a
you
know
not
that
anybody
wants
to
do
that,
but
I
think
we
better
make
sure
we're
spending
it
accurately
and
carefully
here
before
we
even
have
that
conversation
but
I
think
it's
a
conversation
we
need
to
have
with
residents
and
start
to
start
to
have,
but
I
will
say
that
they
don't
think.
It's
any
coincidence
that
our
side
of
town,
the
southwest,
is
predominantly
served
by
Penn,
American,
water
and
so
PWSA,
and
yet
all
the
problems.
S
A
lot
of
the
problems
were
experiencing
with
flooding,
not
all,
but
a
lot
of
the
problems
are
related
to
PWSA.
So
PwC
is
not
making
any
money.
Southwestern
River,
because
they're
just
providing
sewer
services
for
the
sewer
and
the
stormwater
management
and
things
that
they're
providing
on
our
side
of
town
but
they're,
not
making
money
off
of
billing
our
residents
for
water.
S
So,
while
they're
not
making
money
on
our
side
of
town
they're
costing
their
money,
so
I
don't
think
that
it's
a
coincidence
that
they're
not
willing
to
spend
see
it
doesn't
seem
like
they're
willing
to
spend
the
money
for
the
actual
fix
that
they
know
that
I'm
sure
certain
that
they
know
how
to
fix
the
problem.
I
think
a
lot
of
it
has
to
do
with
funding
and
since
they're
not
making
money
southwest
of
the
pit
of
the
river
there's
no
incentive
for
them
to
actually
invest
in
the
southwest
of
the
river.
R
There
are
parts
of
town
where
we
have
worse
flooding
and
landslides
issues,
and
we
know
that
not
every
part
of
the
city
is
the
same
in
terms
of
combined
sewer
overflow
as
well,
and
so
I
concur
that
we
really
need
to
focus
on
where
to
target
infrastructure,
replacement
right
and
I'm
really
look
forward
to
that
discussion.
I
think
you
know
I've
been
saying
since
I've
gotten
here
I'm
trying
to
make
eye
contact.
You
know
that
we
have
or
collapsing
underground
right
it's
that
we
need
to
rebuild
the
city
for
the
next
hundred
years.
R
R
I've
had
constituents
out
of
their
house
for
over
a
year
because
of
landslides
or
the
house
being
condemned,
I
have
flooding
in
places
and
I
think
it's
time
for
us
to
really
target
it's
going
to
be,
as
you
said,
a
great
deal
of
money
and
so
I
think
it's
on
our
plate
as
council
members
to
work
together
and
really
figure
out.
How
do
we
target
and
start
right,
and
we
I
think
it's
very
similar
to
the
the
work
that
we
did
around
LED
water
service
on
replacements
right
at
first,
the.
R
Us
now
at
first,
the
state
wouldn't
give
us
funding
at
first.
It
was
all
obstacles
and
we've
gotten
past
that
and
so
we're
doing
those
replacements,
and
it's
not
only
sewers
and
water
lines,
and
you
know
we
know
that
how
far
the
thousand
miles
of
streets
we
have
haven't
been
repaved
and
the
timely
basis
are
collapsing.
R
This
is
all
work,
that's
done
in
the
right-of-way
and
so
I
know
when
we
talked
about
utility
coordination,
usually
it's
just
so
that
we
don't
have
the
kind
of
disasters
like
we
had
in
morningside
recently
where
people
were
almost
caught
in
their
own
neighborhood.
Another
look
out.
It's
not
only
that
it's
that
we
have
so
much
infrastructure
and
it's
all
in
the
same
right-of-way
right,
and
so
we
really
I
think
have
the
authority,
but
we
haven't
had
the
need.
This
is
not
maintenance.
We're
talking
about
this
is
talk.
This
is
like
a
brand-new
construction
project.
R
N
C
So,
oddly
enough,
you
know
I'm
always
looking
for
the
silver
lining
to
me.
There's
an
opportunity
here,
there's
an
opportunity
for
the
city
of
Pittsburgh
and
PWSA,
both
not
in
a
traditional
way
of
infrastructure.
I
disagree
with
Councilwoman
grouse.
As
far
as
you
know,
if
the
plan
is
to
develop
bigger
or
stronger
infrastructure,
it's.
C
So
what
I'm
proposing
is
an
opportunity
for
and
when
many
details
to
be
worked
out
is
a
bio.
You
know
it's
a
simple,
economical,
safest
way,
and
it
really
bodes
to
the
big
grand
plan,
which
is
securing
property,
so
we
can
create
retention,
ponds
and
whomever.
Does
it
Army
Corps
engineer
once
we
secure
that
land
for
a
fraction
of
the
cost
of
PWSA
or
the
city
will
spend
trying
to
fix
it,
I
could
tell
you
and
all
the
neighbors
to
a
tee
I'm
talking
about
34
residential
homes.
Agree
with
me.
C
I've
talked
to
them
all
personally
that
there
is
no
stopping
this
water.
Okay,
it's
going
to
keep
coming
and
there
is
no
infrastructure
that
can
be
put
in
place.
There's
not
an
engineer
on
this
planet
that
I
believe
can
fix
this
without
putting
a
Hoover
style
dam
there,
okay,
so
the
simple
solution
is
a
buyout
for
these
folks.
The
big
picture
here
is
securing
that
land
for
future
mitigation
and
that
can
help
the
entire
51
corridor.
C
B
Constant,
thank
you.
Thank
you.
So
without
further
discussion,
then
these
bills,
under
our
intergovernmental
affairs
committee,
are
ready
for
final
action.
I'll
ask
all
that
are
in
favor
of
the
passage
of
the
bills
to
vote
aye
when
their
names
are
called
and
those
opposed
to
vote.
No
and
madam
clerk,
would
you
please
call
the
roll.
A
N
B
Thank
you,
madam
clerk.
The
bills
then,
having
received
the
legally
required
number
of
votes
are
finally
passed
with
that
that
takes
us
into
motions
and
resolutions
because,
of
course,
the
passing
of
officer
Kelvin
Hall.
We
have
scheduled
both
of
our
meetings
for
today,
so
our
Standing
Committee
meeting
will
be
held
this
afternoon
at
1:30
p.m.
we
will
also
offer
an
updated
summer
and
annual
calendar,
which
was
emailed
out
on
624
calendars
are
also
posted.
B
The
City
Council

well
as
on
the

these
kinds
of
changes

Service
Commission

chamber,
and
then,

meeting

sanity
committee

As
a

councils
recess
is
on
the
horizon.
B

The

and
Wednesday
August

with
regular
and
standing
committee
meetings
and
both
are
scheduled
to
begin
at
10:00
a.m.
Councilwoman
gross
I.
R
Wanted
to
thank
the
administration
for
the
continuing
worth
to
straighten
out
the
streets
in
Morningside
and
the
construction
schedules,
as
council
heard
much
about
it's
not
entirely
finished
for
sure.
But
there's
been
a
lot
of
improvement.
I
know
the
administration
has
spent
a
lot
of
time
and
energy
and
effort
trying
to
figure
out
the
permitting
so
that
not
all
the
work
was
permitted.
As
we
heard
at
length,
there
was
so
much
work
permitted
simultaneously
that
it
was
like
almost
like
a
video
game
and
people
were
stuck
in
their
own
streets.
R
It
was
like
a
maze
so
also
on
a
sad
note.
I
want
to
acknowledge
here
at
Council
that
late
last
week,
Aggie
bros
passed
away,
and
she
was
such
a
significant
community
member
for
decades
and
leading
the
change
to
improve
people's
lives,
certainly
in
the
East
End
and
throughout
Pittsburgh
and
impacted.
So
many
residents-
and
you
know,
city
workers
and
activists
across
the
city
who
you
know
leaned
on
her
as
a
mentor
and
a
role
model
and
I
just
wanted
to
say
how
sorry
I
am
to
her
family
and
well.
We
all
miss
Aggie.
S
B
S
S
N
I
just
have
to
say
that
I'll,
miss
ie2
and
I'll
put
a
lot
of
people
don't
know
is
that
she
worked
for
councilman,
Givens
and
I
worked
with
her
with
problems.
That
was
one
council
was
worked
for
every
neighborhood
in
the
city
of
Pittsburgh,
and
it
was
very
busy
for
them,
but
my
mo
matter
problem
and
it's
where
I
first
got
involved
with
Agee
and
ever
since
we've
worked
together,
whether
it
was.
